Apple tree columnar Triumph: how to plant and how to care
It is possible to plant an apple-tree of the Triumph variety in the spring season (end of April) and in the autumn season. When choosing a territory for landing, it is necessary to remember about its location in relation to sunlight and the depth of groundwater.
Note! The root system of a fruiting tree is extremely sensitive to excessive moisture. This means that the wrong choice of territory for planting can destroy the entire plan for creating a garden.
Twenty to thirty-one days immediately before disembarkation, it is necessary to prepare a landing hole, measuring seventy-five centimeters by one hundred centimeters.
The fertile soil layer from the planting hole is mixed with a variety of natural dressings. This will significantly increase the physical and mechanical properties of the earth, make the earth even looser, allow oxygen to reach the root system and enrich it with nutrients.
A drainage layer is poured onto the bottom of the planting hole. Then a stick is placed in the middle to support the seedling.
Before starting planting, it is worth making a careful examination of the root system of the seedling, removing dead or dried parts of the root system.
Then the planting hole is filled with a mixture of soil, prepared in advance, compacting it in layers to avoid excessive subsidence from moisture. Upon completion, the seedling is abundantly moistened.
Landing scheme
How planting and agricultural technology are necessary should be known to all summer residents who cultivate columnar fruit-bearing trees.
We recommend the following scheme for planting a columnar apple of the Triumph variety: approximately fifty centimeters of space between apple trees in the beds and one hundred centimeters between rows.
With this placement, all apple trees will have the amount of sunlight they need, and the root system will take place for full development.
Note! The lack of territory for the crown due to thickened plantings can lead to improper crop formation. Due to the lack of sunlight, the dimensions, shape and color will be uncharacteristic for the variety.
Apple tree care Triumph
The concept of "leaving" includes the following actions:
- moisturizing.
- fertilizer.
- loosening.
- weed harvesting.
Trees are watered in proportions of ten liters of liquid per adult apple tree during the spring season to the fall season, starting from the moment of bud formation, subject to weather conditions.
Watering is usually necessary once or twice a week.
Fertilize the "triumph" variety is necessary in the autumn season with natural dressings, and in the spring season - with mineral fertilizers:
- fertilizer containing nitrogen is placed in frozen soil.
- fertilizers, which include potassium and phosphorus, are placed in the soil during bud formation and before the harvest ripens, once every two weeks
Note! Fertilizer with microelements in its composition, which is applied by spraying the foliage with a spray bottle, has proven itself perfectly.
It is worth remembering the necessary procedures, which are provided below:
- loosening.
- weed harvesting.
Loosening of the near-trunk circumference is carried out one day after watering. Weeds are harvested in a timely manner.
Pruning and crown shaping that the Triumph apple tree needs
Columnar apple trees need special pruning.
They require it on a number of occasions. For example, if the top of a tree is unexpectedly injured, which results in the growth of two upper parts at the same time.
This damages the structure of the crown, which means that one of the two upper parts is removed completely (which is less developed).
This variety can have branches on the sides, and they should be removed at the time of spring pruning.
Pollination
Fruiting trees are considered self-fertile, which means they do not need cross-pollination. There is no need to select pollinator varieties.
